The almost sort of Comprehensive Guide to the Gillette Tech

Well, based on the L2 date code and later model top cap, I'd guess it's a 1966. Could be military issue but I don't know.

 

I could be wrong, but I think I read someplace that Simplex handles were sold on some techs for sale by other companies.

 

i had a boxed simplex razor-bakelite head with a gillette travel sized ball end tech handle.

 

Interesting and not commonly seen French Tech set. Razor is dated P1 making it a 1970 tech.

 

Some 70s era English Techs, both packages have the same back side graphics.

 

Here is another later model tech, not sure which market this was produced for.

 

Those razors don't have the Gillette logo on the cap.

 

I just bought this gold Tech off eBay here in Canada.

 

very cool.nice example.

 

Thanks! It's my first "fat" handle Tech.

 

Hi all,
I have bought a Tech ball end tip in mint condition, It's made in England and there are no date codes on the plates. It's a gift box with blue steel blades. The blade date code is a B1, I think that it's mid-end 40s. Do you confirm?
Thank you.

 

looks like a 1951 up #45 tech set..blade code is 1956.

 

Enjoy some great shaves!

BTW

 

Thank you all!

 

No wonder I can not find a Flat bottom Tech, Gary has them all . Nice collection Gary that took some time to collect no doubt!

 

yes sir,.thank you Ron.a little over 5 years with some lucky breaks and "right place right time" moments..

 

Didn’t knew the also made a flat bottom in Canada. Very nice razor, i also have a 4 piece tech, but whit a British flat bottom.

 

very cool.i have some brit flat bottom sets still,but passed along my#26 2 piece handle sets.the canadian version i had only heard of but not seen until i found this one on ebay.haven't seen another since anywhere and online.
